Dems abandon Obama on Gunwalker- Obama has a way out!

Dems abandoning ship on Gunwalker linked to

Issa and Grassley should invoke the Truman doctrine, "The Buck Stops Here." They do that by asking the president how he failed to know that an operation of this magnitude and consequence went on right under his nose without his knowledge. While it is plausible that such a thing could happen, it opens the question, what else goes on under the auspices of presidential authority that he is unaware of.

Further, if he didn't know about this, how could he know what else goes on unbeknownst to him. Should we be able to trust that the president has the reigns of the executive branch firmly in his own grasp? It would seem not. This thing goes farther than itself, then. It implicates the whole authority and command of the president.

Indeed, this is the manifestation of a failed Truman doctrine; a doctrine that acts as the pinking shears on the drapes of plausible deniability. The Truman doctrine cuts away the veil the presidents always try to use to protect themselves. The only protection faithful to his oath and duties is to vigorously expose and prosecute anyone who has abused his trust in the name of his office. There's no other way out.

What is the proper counter to the Fast and Furious Scandal?

The story at the link will further explain the process of the senate investigation, it's purpose, some of the roadblocks the committee is up against, the next steps likely to be taken and some of the informed speculation of Senator Issa as to the apparant real objective of the operation.

What I would like to pose a rhetorical question to is this. What should be the reaction both as to law and policy? Should H.B 822 pass, giving a full faith and credit protection to state concealed carry permits? Should the Federal Firearms Act(s) be amended to encouage greater ownership of firearms? Should BATFE have itself pruned to BATE?

Gunrunner investigation expands with new revelations

Gunwalker explodes: FBI hid weapons, tax dollars, subsidized murders

Now it has been revealed that the Fast and Furious program had a domestic component. That has expanded from supplying straw purchases to actually funding them to the tune of $70k. What other motivation could our government have for this than to outlaw guns? To do this they were willing to sacrifice innocent lives, collateral damage, I suppose, in order to create a crisis that wouldn't go wasted.

Of local interest, gangs in Fort Wayne, Gary and Joliet were involved somehow.

This has jumped the shark. We cannot call this incompetence. This is evil. We have several government agencies running a criminal activity for which their publicly stated objective makes no logical sense. The only logical reason also dovetails with objectives of the White House, President, the Attorney General and the major portion of the democratic party: national gun control.

There are things which must be done. The Senate Committee on Oversight and Government Reform needs to finish it's investigation. The president needs to appoint a special prosecutor. Indictments, trials, convictions must happen. Finally, the government of the united States must statutorily recognize an unfettered right to keep and bear arms. This sorid episode in our national history should serve to cement the well stated purpose of the Second Amendment; to protect the people from its own government.
